Five To Watch

Since others are posting lists of movies they like/don't like I'll do my quick five under appreciated movies.

1.Kingpin--Favorite Farrelly brothers movie, probably because they didn't write it! Bill Murray awesome as is Woody.

2.Repo Man--Does this really need explaining?

3. Grosse Pointe Blank--hitmen, lost love and high school reunion in one!

4. Swimming with Sharks--Shut up, listen, learn!

5. Metropolitan--yes, it's about snooty upper east side kids, but it delivered this gem which still rings true today: "Rick Von Slonecker is tall, rich, good looking, stupid, dishonest, conceited, a bully, liar, drunk and thief, an egomaniac, and probably psychotic. In short, highly attractive to women."

"Repo Man" and "Grosse Pointe Blank" are modern-day classics. I suspect you'd also enjoy "The Grifters" from that era, and maybe even "Buckaroo Banzai"

I also forgot "After Hours."
